What does 楽しめてない mean?

Context: 私クリスマスたのしめてない。

I know that 楽しめる means "to be able to enjoy", and it's negative form is 楽しめない.
Where did that 「て」come from?

What does 楽しめてない mean?


Grammar aside, て is the て of te-form and adds progressive aspect for 楽しめる. So
it means _not being able to enjoy_ , which is practically synonymous to _I'm
not enjoying_.

Grammatically, it is a form of 楽しめていない, where the first い is dropped. 楽しめている
is the progressive form of 楽しむ, just like 読んでいる is of 読む (読んでる is likewise
possible).
